Enhancing facial form for optimal aesthetics with chin surgery (genioplasty).
Chin surgery (or “genioplasty”) is mostly about aesthetics (or appearance), but that’s no small point. Aesthetic outcomes are an important part of oral surgery… and as central to your quality of life as excellent oral function and living without pain or discomfort. While our surgeons often perform chin surgery for cosmetic reasons, they also use it to maximize the aesthetic results of corrective jaw surgery. The main types of chin surgery we provide is a sliding genioplasty – One way to enhance your chin is by physically sliding the bone of your chin forward. This makes the chin more prominent and can dramatically improve the appearance of the your lower face and your overall facial balance. If you have a small or “weak” chin, you may be a good candidate for a sliding genioplasty.
